Forty years ago, Maxine Hart survived the Camp Claymore massacre by hiding in a boathouse for six hours while nine people died.
Now she's fifty-six, broke, and tired of being the "original Final Girl" at horror conventions where fans want her autograph on photos of her own trauma.
When slick producer Elliot Rusk offers her serious money to attend the Camp Slaymore Experience, an immersive horror weekend at a rebuilt version of the camp, Max reluctantly agrees.
What's the worst that could happen at a staged murder mystery for social media influencers?
She's about to find out.
Someone didn't get the memo that the kills are supposed to be fake. As bodies start dropping for real, Max realizes she's trapped in her own nightmare all over again. This time, there's an audience filming every scream. The phones are jammed, help isn't coming, and the killer knows exactly how the movies end.
But Max Hart isn't sixteen anymore. She's survived forty years of hell, and she's done being anyone's victim.
From the author of The Bone Collector’s Daughter and Moonlight Sin, The Final Girl Is Tired is a razor-sharp slasher that eviscerates horror tropes, influencer culture, and the way society turns real trauma into entertainment.
It's Scream for the social media age, with the bitter wisdom of a woman who's lived long enough to watch her worst day become someone else's content.
This time, the final girl fights back.

Early Praise for Moonlight Sin
“Moonlight Sin absolutely blew me away. Less Harry Dresden and more Guy Noir style comedy that still took itself seriously enough to make a truly compelling character. Vince Lockwood is my favorite noir detective to date… I highly recommend checking it out.”

Morgan Mourne's next darkly hilarious thriller is here and the hair is big, the synths are bigger, and something very hungry is waiting in the dark…
Neon signs.
Saxophones.
Monsters in the moonlight.
In 1985 Los Angeles, a down-and-out PI investigating a missing person case discovers a terrifying truth: the city's criminal underground is harvesting werewolf blood—and his dangerous attraction to his client might transform him into the very monsters he's hunting.
Hard-boiled PI Vince Lockwood is barely scraping by in the neon-lit shadows of 1985 Los Angeles when the alluring Alena DeLuca walks into his office. She's the wife of a mid-level gangster, and she needs his help finding a missing person. What starts as a standard missing-person case soon drags Vince into a brutal world he never imagined—where creatures stalk the city after dark, and crime lords deal in black-market werewolf blood. Each clue pulls him further from reality and deeper into danger. And as his fixation on Alena intensifies, so does the risk of losing himself. With the full moon approaching and predators circling, Vince must fight to hold onto what's left of his humanity—before the city drowns in blood and he disappears into the shadows for good.

A broken bard.
A banished thief.
A forsaken believer.
In the northern mountains of Veyldrim, something ancient is stirring.
When wandering bard Fin Farvale saves a halfling thief from a goblin ambush, he expects little more than a quick thanks and a quieter conscience.
Instead, the road leads them to The Deep, a dwarven city rotting from the inside out. Goblins raid in organized packs. A commander clings to control through fear and blood. Children whisper with the voices of the dead, and dwarves crawl from the mines like revenants, their bodies blooming with crystal shards and black death.
At the heart of the unrest lies the Bleeding Stone, a relic the faithful call divine and the skeptics dismiss as superstition. As a cunning goblin warlord closes in and strange forces stir beneath the mountain, Fin realizes his only weapon is the one he has always feared: connection.
To survive The Deep, he will have to stop running, confront what broke him, and decide if he can face the part of himself he has spent years trying to bury.
Grim, bloody, and darkly funny, Ballad for the Stone is a dark epic fantasy for fans of Joe Abercrombie and Nicholas Eames. Brutal, heartfelt, and unforgettable to the end.

For Izzy Graves, cleaning up blood splatters is just another satisfying Tuesday.
But when her serial killer father leaves her a collection of human bones—and a doomsday cult comes knocking—Izzy's life gets a whole lot messier.

A darkly funny, gore-splattered romp for fans of Dexter and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
About Morgan Mourne
Morgan Mourne writes darkly humorous urban fantasy, horror, and dark fantasy because therapy is expensive and writing keeps him marginally sane.
He grew up on the novels of Stephen King, Christopher Moore, and the wonderfully chaotic worlds of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey—and somewhere along the way, decided he could probably make things even weirder.
When he’s not writing, Morgan can be found playing RPGs badly, spoiling his dogs, watching baseball, or catching a comedy horror flick with his wife.
